Extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL)

A process that extracts information from internal and external databases, transforms the information using a common set of enterprise definitions, and loads the information into a data warehouse

Proof-of-work

A requirement to define an expensive computer calculation, also called mining, that needs to be performed in order to create a new group of trustless transactions (blocks) on the distributed ledger or blockchain

Blockchain

A type of distributed ledger technology consisting of data structure blocks that may contain data or programs, with each block holding batches of individual transactions and the results of any executables. Each block contains a time stamp and a link to a previous block.

Database management systems

Allows users to create, read, update, and delete data in a relational database

Data mart

Access Control

Determines types of user access, such as read-only access

Data cube

common term for the representation of multidimensional information

data dictionary

compiles all of the metadata about the data elements in the data model

data visualization

Metadata

details about data

Dirty data

erroneous or flawed data

Data validation

includes the tests and evaluations used to determine compliance with data governance polices to ensure correctness of data

Data model

logical data structures that detail the relationships among data elements using graphics or pictures

Database

maintains information about various types of objects (inventory), events (transactions), people (employees), and places (warehouses)

Data integrity

measures the quality of data

Data visualization tools

move beyond Excel graphs and charts into sophisticated analysis techniques such as controls, instruments, maps, time-series graphs, and more

Distributed computing

Data governance

refers to the overall management of the availability, usability, integrity, and security of company data

Integrity constraint
